Teesside University is to mark National Holocaust Memorial Day on 25 January 2013 with a special event on campus – one of the largest events in the country.

Staff, students and the public will be attending the commemoration event which will be hosted by Professor Nigel Copsey and Dr Matthew Feldman and feature the prominent historian Professor Dan Stone who works on historiographical and philosophical interpretations of the Holocaust, comparative genocide, history of anthropology, and the cultural history of the British Right. He is the author or editor of ten books and over fifty scholarly articles.
Keynote speaker Professor Stone, from Royal Holloway University, will be giving an address called ‘The Cheese and the Wurst, Nazism and the Holocaust in Contemporary Culture’. This will be followed by a number of parallel sessions which include ‘The Holocaust on Film’, ‘Writing Holocaust Memoirs’ and ‘Political Religion and the Holocaust’.
